Uracilly Boy, DNA

Uracilly Boy, DNA

This is peak molecular biology humor right here! The meme plays on the key difference between DNA and RNA: DNA uses thymine (T) while RNA replaces it with uracil (U).

The left shows DNA happily pointing at its thymine bases like "T for the win!" Meanwhile, RNA (as Spider-Man) is basically saying "NO U" - which is both a meme reference AND literally what RNA does when it's transcribed from DNA. RNA kicks out thymine and says "Nope, we use uracil here!"

The title "Uracilly Boy" is a pun on "you're a silly boy" - which is exactly what DNA would say to RNA if they could talk. Nucleic acid sass at its finest!
